Upstream, I followed [1].

I don't know for sure - you never know for software running on the same
hardware that's gonna be tested - but the SROM testing didn't show any
problems at least:

```
............
  SROM V1.0-0 CPU # 00 @  1000  MHz
SROM program starting
Reloading SROM

  SROM V1.0-1 CPU # 00 @  1000  MHz

Memory address test in progress
Memory pattern test in progress
Testing AAR0

............Loading console

```

I can try to increase the depth of testing - if possible - but I'd
expect some ECC related messaging for any failures happening and there
was none on the system console.

Can the testing happen on a different arch, too?
